2024-09-27 + +# Discounted Cash Flow + +## Overview +Duration: 5 + +A discounted cash flow (**DCF**) is an analysis that values some type of asset over a period of time. + +More simply put, it allows someone to understand how much future money is worth in today’s terms. + +Historically, this type of analysis has been done in traditional spreadsheet tools like Excel. While a reliable tool, financial analysts and accountants often encounter challenges when performing a DCF in Excel: + +- Scalability Issues: Large datasets must be rolled up/aggregated to fit within Excel’s ~1 million row limit, leading to a loss of crucial data granularity. + +- Manual Updates: The process must be repeated periodically (e.g., monthly or quarterly) as new data needs to be incorporated into the original model, making it time-consuming. + +- Lack of Governance: Excel lacks built-in governance features, making it difficult to prevent mistakes and ensure accuracy both proactively and retroactively. + +**That is where Sigma comes in.** + +With a familiar spreadsheet interface, Excel power users can seamlessly transition to Sigma and recreate their work in an intuitive format. + +Our cloud-based architecture offers: + +- Performance and Scalability: Handle datasets well beyond Excel's limits, leveraging the full compute power of your cloud data warehouse, maintaining crucial data granularity for more detailed insights. + +- Automated Real-time Updates: Your DCF analysis automatically updates as new data flows into your cloud data warehouse, ensuring timely and accurate financial modeling. + +- Enhanced Governance and Security: Sigma inherits all the governance features from your cloud data warehouse, including audit trails and version history, ensuring data accuracy and reducing risks associated with manual errors. + +This QuickStart will provides an example of DCF, based on Sigma provided sample data, so users can build on their own. + +### Target Audience +Sigma users who are in a finance role or have interest in a discounted cash flow analysis. + +### Prerequisites + +
